Nikola Jokic’s summer dominance continued on Saturday in Team Serbia’s tune-up game for EuroBasket where he put up 23 points, 19 rebounds, and 4 assists en route to victory over Greece. Though an exhibition, these games are vital in the short build up period before the tournament and it’s notable that the favored Serbians are now 4-0.
It’s also notable that this was supposed to be a matchup of the world’s two greatest players in Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the Greek Freak sat this one out while his home country was defeated, 76-66 in Limassol, Cyprus.
